Online shopper puzzled by wet wipes taking up 42 pickup lockers
Online shopper puzzled by wet wipes taking up 42 pickup lockers
2026-05-19
Package-less shipping is all the rage right now, with vendors sending goods to 24-hour pickup locations without packing it into a cardboard box. One resident of Kaohsiung’s Fengshan District recently ordered one of these unpackaged items. But when she went to pick it up, 42 lockers opened at once to reveal 42 separate packages of wet wipes.
To retrieve a package at one of these 24-hour automated pickup locations, you just have to enter your information and the corresponding locker will pop open. But for one Ms. Tseng in Kaohsiung, not only one, but 42 lockers popped open at once revealing 42 separate travel packs of wet wipes.

When the lockers all started popping open, I wondered if they were broken. How could there be so many at once? After clearing this side, I had to check the other side as well. It took a while.
This is what happened: Dozens of lockers opened at once, forcing Ms. Tseng into the tedious task of retrieving each item herself and closing each locker. This was at a self pickup store in Fengshan District. Luckily there was no one else there at the time, or it might have been chaotic.
- It’s ridiculous! They shouldn’t have put them in 42 lockers. A single order should be kept in one locker.
- It’s a bit silly. There’s no need to split them all up like that.
- We ordered 15 packages of mini cream puffs without packaging. Let’s see what happens.
After ordering 15 bags of cream puffs as a test, we found they were packed into two lockers with seven to eight bags each. Someone else who ordered a bunch of toilet paper also retrieved them all from one locker. While Ms. Tseng wasn’t the first to have her order split up into different lockers, she’s concerned it may be a nuisance for other shoppers.

I often run into a situation where I try to select this store, but it’s unavailable, probably because all the lockers are full. If I was taking up 42 spaces like this, there were probably lots of people who couldn’t ship to this store.
While unpackaged shipping is great for cutting down on waste, it also raises the potential issue of loose items hogging lockers. If someone makes a big order, they may end up inadvertently taking up the entire store!

玩開開樂? 智取店取貨驚奇 42包濕紙巾”分占42個櫃子"
2026-05-19
網路購物現在流行無包裝商品，裸裝寄送不再另外包裝，寄送到指定門市後，24小時都能自助取貨。但高雄鳳山卻有民眾下單無包裝商品，櫃門打開卻像是奏起交響樂，42包小濕紙巾，被分成42個櫃子裝，像是在玩取貨開開樂，讓她超傻眼。
網路商店自助取貨，輸入取件資訊，對應的櫃門彈開，24小時領取超方便。但高雄曾小姐在網路下單無包裝商品，42個迷你濕紙巾竟然一個蘿蔔一個坑，讓她超傻眼。

“櫃門一開的時候，我想說櫃子壞掉了嗎？怎麼一次開這麼多？我這一面找完還要找下一個，花蠻多時間的。”
當時情況就像這樣，幾十個櫃門依序打開，一個個取件再一個個關櫃門，費時又費力。曾小姐選擇的是鳳山這家智取店取貨，還好當下沒有其他顧客，否則可能造成混亂。
“很誇張啊，不會放到42格，(同一單)會放在同一格啊”
“有一點(誇張)，不用分這麼多”
“記者也買了15個無包裝小泡芙，我們來實測一下會怎麼開”
經過實測，記者下單的15包小泡芙被拆成兩個櫃子裝，一格7、8包裝好裝滿。也有網友下單無包裝衛生紙，通通塞在同一格。獨立小商品被分別放在櫃子裡，曾小姐雖然不是第一個，但也擔心會影響其他人權益。

“我也常遇到原本要選這間店，結果這間店沒辦法選了，應該就是因為他們格子滿了，那這樣我佔了42個格子，會有蠻多人沒辦法選這間店。”
購物網站的無包裝商品，下單後不再另外包裝，直接寄送減少包材。卻沒想到發生單件商品獨立佔櫃的情況，要是數量更多，恐怕整間店都要被癱瘓。
